Plants make food in their leaves. The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colors the leaves green. Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.
The Leaf. Two Functions of the Leaf. 1  Photosynthesis is the process when leaf cells containing chlorophyll take in carbon dioxide and water and using sunlight, make sugar and oxygen. 2  Transpiration is the loss of water from the leaf.3  This helps to draw water up through the plant from the roots. The female part of the flower is the pistil (composed of the stigma, the thin style and the ovary). 2  Pollination occurs when pollen is transferred by insects or wind from the anther to the stigma. 3  Chemicals called enzymes 'drill' a channel down through the style to the ovary where the egg is.
